Here's a number that should change how you think about every service call.
27%.
That's the percentage of homeowners who hire an electrician in a given year. For plumbers? 52%.
The average homeowner calls an electrician once every 3 to 4 years.
That means every service call you run is an at-bat that won't come around again for years. If you fix the outlet and leave with a $300 check, you've used up your window.
The contractor who walks away with a signed deposit for the panel upgrade noticed during the repair has done the same truck roll โ with a completely different outcome.
One shot. Use it.
